i was really looking forward to this game. but its not that great. it's cool to play a game that could so easily be a movie but it falls short of being memorable for anything else.
graphics might not be important, but these arent the ones we were shown in the teasers on xbox live. they arent bad, just not great
the gameplay feels like it would be better as a stranglehold/max payne style game, but instead it feels more like a bad adaptation of ghost recon, in which it is contextual how and where you can cover and peak. controlling the AI 'crew' also leaves a little to be desired as they will run into a cross fire to bludgeon someone you send them after as opposed to shooting them like they should. also i've had lynch get stuck on the overpass scene and he wouldnt move or trigger the cut-scene at the end. little things like that arent so little when you're playing on a game you've waited for for a year.
all in all this is a rental. it seems like it couold be beaten in a few days on any difficulty.
